Notes from today, and reading/blogging for Monday, April 16

Today we discussed some research writing strategies, and then moved on to discussion of the Grimmelmann and Fister articles, and why to evaluate information in all types of media. Slides from today are available here. I’ll be close to email for much of Spring Break, so that’s the best way to get in touch with your questions about the research paper draft, due Wednesday, 4/18.

On Monday, April 16, we’ll spend some more time on writing an academic research paper and play the evaluation game based on the evaluation criteria that you crowdsourced on Monday. Please read Badke Ch. 10 and Appendix 1 (pp. 196-203 in 3rd ed.; 235-238 in 4th ed.) and write one reading response blog post; see prompt below:

Last week we read about and worked on the following:
1.advanced internet searching
2.searching library catalogs
3.searching article databases.
•What have you learned in these classes that’s new to you?
•How do you see yourself using your new skills outside of our course?

Enjoy Spring Break!
